Abstract
Biology students desperately need chemistry because chemistry explains in detail why a biological process occurs. However, there are still many biology students who consider chemistry a difficult subject to study. This topic supports meaningful learning for biology students. Biology topics that are closely related to colloid topics are the nature of blood as colloids, the ability of the kidneys to cleanse the blood, and the working principle of a dialysator that can replace the kidneys in cleansing the blood.

Colloid learning needs to be linked to biology so that meaningful learning occurs
Summary
Biology students desperately need chemistry because chemistry explains in detail why a biological process occurs. Meaningful learning will occur if the topic studied is relevant to the students’ environment (Hakim et al, 2018). Meaningful chemical learning can motivate biology students to always study chemistry. The topic of colloid given only explains the concept of colloid, colloidal properties, various colloids, and how to make colloids without giving examples related to biology. This can make biology students less motivated in studying colloids so they don’t understand colloids. According to Young (2016) Colloidal systems are essential to life They are extremely useful, even indispensable, in many commercial and industrial situations as well.
